QuestionsQuestions (PHILRACOM Resolution NO. 04-11, S. OF 2011)
The text cites Section 9(c) of Presidential Decree No. 420 as the source of Philracom’s power to register horses, horse owners and associations/federations, and to regulate race track construction and grant permits for races.
Philracom requires the submission of a Vaccination and Coggins Test Certificate/Clearance as part of the horse registration requirements.
All horses must submit a Vaccination and Coggins Test Certificate/Clearance.
Runner horses may be registered in advance by Philracom, and the Vaccination and Coggins Test Certificate issued in the last quarter of the year may be honored for registration for the following year.
Novato horses that were registered and underwent Vaccination and Coggins Testing/Clearance in the last quarter of the year must submit anew a Vaccination and Coggins Testing/Clearance for registration for the following year.
Runner horses’ last-quarter certificates may be honored for the next year, while novato horses’ last-quarter certificates do not automatically carry over and require re-testing for the next year.
(1) All horses must submit Vaccination and Coggins Test Certificate/Clearance; (2) runner horses may be registered in advance and their last-quarter certificates may be honored for the following year; (3) novato horses registered and tested in the last quarter must submit anew for the following year.
The text explains that RLD proposed specific rules to implement the institutionalized submission of Vaccination and Coggins Test Certificate/Clearance as part of horse registration requirements.
It required furnishing copies of the resolution to horse owners, trainers, associations, and other concerned persons/entities for their guidance and compliance.
The resolution ordered that it be published in the Kopya and forwarded to the UP Law Center for proper notice and publication.
It was adopted on 11 February 2011, with approval shown by the listed commissioners (Chairman and Commissioners) via signed document entries.
The resolution shows approval by Hon. Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II (Chairman), and Commissioners Hon. Eduardo C. Domingo, Jr., Hon. Reynaldo G. Fernando, Hon. Victor V. Tancoco, and Hon. James Erving L. Paman.
It sets category-specific compliance timing: runner horses benefit from carry-over recognition of last-quarter certificates, while novato horses are required to re-test for the next year.
They must submit anew a Vaccination and Coggins Testing/Clearance for registration for the following year, despite the prior last-quarter testing.
